EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the juxtaposition of old and new in Krakow, Poland. Standing tall against a vibrant blue sky is St. Florian's Gate, an impressive 14th-century structure that serves as the entrance to the city's enchanting Old Town. The gate, with its Gothic towers and red brick construction, exudes a sense of history and charm. However, what makes this image truly intriguing is the unexpected sight nestled within this ancient gateway - a McDonald's sign. This modern symbol of fast food culture boldly stands out amidst the medieval architecture, creating an interesting contrast between tradition and contemporary influences. Krakow's St. Florian's Gate holds great significance as part of the Royal Road, leading visitors into the heart of the city where they can explore its rich historical landmarks and tourist attractions. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it attracts tourists from all over Western Europe who are drawn to its unique blend of architectural beauty and cultural heritage. Photographer Hugh Rooney skillfully captures not only these elements but also showcases how mass tourism has impacted this once-quiet corner of Poland. Through his lens, we witness how even centuries-old structures like St. Florian's Gate have become intertwined with commercialism in our modern world. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect on both the timeless allure of Krakow's past and its evolving present-day identity as a popular destination for travelers seeking unforgettable urban vacations in one of Europe’s most captivating cities
